Compensation

Recognizing the high cost of living in the Bay Area and the long-term need to value the educational profession in today’s society, our focus on faculty and staff compensation is both timely and timeless. Our excellent faculty is critical to everything that we do, and there is no single initiative of greater importance than attracting and retaining the best teachers. Recognizing the strength of our existing professional development budget and understanding our limited fiscal resources beyond tuition, our strategic thinking centers itself on the most essential of aspect of compensation: salaries.

Goal:
Increase compensation levels to reflect more accurately the cost of living in the San Francisco Bay area and to acknowledge the value of educators as professionals.

Implementation steps:

• Provide annual increases in faculty compensation to be highly competitive by ISBOA (Independent School Business Officer’s Association) standards
• Evaluate administrative/staff salaries and adjust as necessary in order to remain highly competitive by ISBOA standards
